Euro Rebounds from Six-Week Low on US-Iran Deal Hopes
The euro strengthened to $1.163, recovering from a six-week low, as investors cheered progress in US-Iran negotiations that pushed Brent crude below the $100-per-barrel mark. President Donald Trump said a memorandum of understanding between the two nations had been "largely negotiated" and would reopen the Strait of Hormuz. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the potential deal as "pretty solid," suggesting it could lead to "very real, significant time-limited negotiations on nuclear matters." Last week, PMI data revealed the Eurozone economy contracted in May at its fastest pace since late 2023, driven by a war-fueled surge in living costs, with S&P Global warning the figures point to inflation approaching 4%. Money markets are currently pricing in two ECB rate hikes before year-end.

Euro Remains Weak Amid Mixed Data, Iran Talks
The euro traded at $1.16, near its weakest level since early April, as investors weighed mixed economic data and monitored US-Iran negotiations. German consumer sentiment improved heading into June, defying expectations of a further decline, driven by a rebound in income expectations. Business confidence also edged higher in May, recovering from April’s six-year low, while a separate report confirmed 0.3% GDP growth in Q1 2026. However, Thursday’s PMI revealed the euro area economy unexpectedly contracted in May at the fastest pace since late 2023, amid a war-driven surge in living costs. S&P Global warned the data points to inflation nearing 4% in the coming months. Money markets are pricing in at least two ECB rate hikes before year-end. Meanwhile, investors grew more optimistic about progress in US-Iran peace negotiations after US Senator Marco Rubio noted "some good signs" in Iran talks, though Tehran’s uranium stockpile and control over the Strait of Hormuz remain key obstacles.

Euro Near Early-April Lows as Weak PMI Signals Contraction
The euro erased early gains to trade around $1.16, close to its weakest level since early April, as investors assessed weak S&P Global flash PMI data and Middle East developments. The survey revealed that the euro area economy unexpectedly contracted in May at the fastest pace since late 2023, with a war-driven surge in living costs suppressing service demand and pushing input price inflation to a three-year high. S&P Global also cautioned that the data points to inflation nearing 4% in the coming months. At the same time, crude prices remained close to four-year highs amid doubts that a US–Iran deal can be reached soon or that traffic through the Strait of Hormuz will be fully restored. The European Central Bank, which held interest rates steady last month but discussed a potential increase, has signaled both publicly and privately that a rate hike could come as early as June.
